Born At The Right Time Lyrics - The Essential Paul Simon - Paul Simon

Down among the reeds and rushes 

A baby boy was found 

His eyes as clear as centuries 

His silky hair was brown 

Never been lonely 

Never been lied to 

Never had to scuffle in fear 

Nothing denied to 

Born at the instant 

The church bells chime 

And the whole world whispering 

Born at the right time

Me and my buddies we are travelling people 

We like to go down to restaurant row 

Spend those Euro-dollars 

All the way from Washington to Tokyo 

I see them in the airport lounge 

Upon their mother's breast 

They follow me with open eyes 

Their uninvited guest 

Never been lonely 

Never been lied to 

Never had to scuffle in fear 

Nothing denied to 

Born at the instant 

The church bells chime 

And the whole world whispering 

Born at the right time

Too many people on the bus from the airport 

Too many holes in the crust of the earth 

The planet groans 

Every time it registers another birth 

But among the reeds and rushes 

A baby girl was found 

Her eyes as clear as centuries 

Her silky hair was brown 

Never been lonely 

Never been lied to 

Never had to scuffle in fear 

Nothing denied to 

Born at the instant 

The church bells chime 

And the whole world whispering 

Born at the right time
